Photo story: A sommelier's life (2)

Li likes the environment and atmosphere created by wines. "Different people have different tastes. For me, the most important thing is the feeling of drinking. If an expensive wine doesn't make me feel comfortable, I'd rather choose a cheaper one. "

When tasting wines or attending a lecture, Li will go to the bar counter in person.

When holding a banquet, they have to make full preparations including utensils, swing sets, and lecture materials. "We can't say the same thing every time. We have to update our wine knowledge, and have a complete understanding of which winery has been upgraded and the new laws and regulations. "

Li has two apprentices to teach in his work. He likes to combine the apprentices' interests and the wine knowledge together. He wants them to know what they need to learn at work.

"Different wineglasses are made of different materials, and have their own shapes, which match a variety of wines," Li says. Li always show his most sincere side at work.

"A companion is hard to find but lucky to have. I think I'm still young. What I need to do is to work with both feet on the ground and take care of myself, " Li says.

Li hopes to be a senior sommelier in the future.
